Activity Request Forms may be obtained from the Student Affairs Office, the David M. Haraway Center manager, or printed from Northwest’s website, www.northwestms.edu. All on-campus and off-campus activities that are sponsored by a student group or organization must be approved by this committee. The Activities Committee also acts on requests made by offcampus groups that want to use Northwest facilities. The committee reserves the right to reject any activity or to recommend charges for the use of a facility. A sponsoring agency is responsible for the conduct of its guests. Written requests for use of a facility must include the signature of the building supervisor prior to being submitted to the committee. Please submit requests at least three weeks in advance.
